You’re confusing NCAA and MLB rules

The amount of times you're able to get a hit vs not will never be outdated. The weight of the statistic has dropped, but average very much matters.

I don't disagree here. It still matters. My point is that it's no longer valued as it once was, so using it as a metric for the argument that the mound should be moved back doesn't really apply in my opinion. OBP/OPS are much more robust units to measure from.

It's not the mound or the pitchers. It's the hitters and their approach. Pitching has advanced faster than hitters can adjust.

Batting avg as a metric is outdated and not valued like it once was.

Do you want to pay for the convenience of not having to go to the DMV or do you want to just bitch about it?

Nobody knows. Stop looking ahead

Yes, you can transfer MLB tickets from the MLB Ballpark app to Google Wallet. To do this, open the MLB Ballpark app, find the tickets you want to add, and select "Add to Apple/Google Wallet". This will then add the ticket to your Google Wallet.

It's all a scam. You can qualify as a DV just for sleep apnea and needing a CPAP.

Eyanson has mostly better stats than Kade. They both deserve to be 1st team.

It was a ballsy high risk/ high reward thing. He's athletic enough to maybe work out and sell some tickets but his future was always football.

The downside is the A's don't sign him and lose the slot value $$ for that pick. The upside is they get a compensatory pick the following year, one slot after where they picked previously, in addition to their normal pick...Plus expanded draft pool $$.

You can argue it was a dumb move and a wasted pick but maybe the A's didn't see the right value in 2018 1st round and wanted a head start on 2019? It's still silly to waste the 9th overall pick though.
